Named after lounge chairs, they play once a month at the Coorparoo Bowls Club to a regular crowd that's most made up of their families, along with a few eccentric fans.

Joe Kelly - who plays guitars and ukulele - tells the story of their favourite audience member.

"He comes along and makes a grand entrance, walks across, bows to the audience then somehow procures himself a broomstick, which he dances to, and then encourages other people to get up, and has a fine time," he says.

"And usually he'll convince at least one female to dance with him - he'll discard the broomstick at that point. Then after one or two dances he departs."

Vyvyan Black does vocals and plays the trumpet, flugelhorn and blues harp.

He says he started the band by putting an ad in Time Off magazine saying, "Old farts wanted".

"I just like the trumpet and the horn sound and all that stuff so I took that up and I'm just doing what I like," he says.

"I've never expected to make any money out of it and all of our money goes into maintaining the gear and a few beers here and there.

"We don't make enough to scrape a penny together really, it's just for fun."

Joe and Vyvyan, along with Erik Van Der Weyden, on electric fretless bass, and Ben Drozdovskii, on keyboards, violin and accordian, make up the Jason Recliners.

Vyvyan says they didn't even read what the prize was before deciding to enter Exhumed.

"When you're a band like us you spend all your time thinking, how am I going to get a gig? How am I going to tell people about us?" he says.
